Inter Milan is expected to control possession, leveraging their midfield strength. They will likely adopt a defensive approach to counter Atalanta's high press, relying on the pace and attacking power of Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram for effective counter-attacks. Set-piece tactics are also crucial, with 28% of their goals this season coming from such situations. Their 'twin towers' combination in corner kicks poses a significant aerial threat and could be key to breaking the deadlock. Atalanta has shown strong form since their managerial change, winning six of their last eight matches. Their home performance has been particularly impressive, with five wins, one draw, and one loss in seven home games, resulting in a 71% win rate. Their tactical system has shifted from 3-5-2 to a more flexible 3-4-1-2, significantly improving their attacking dynamics. They rank third in Serie A for shots on goal, heavily relying on the finishing ability of their key attacker, Gianluca Scamacca. The new signing is in excellent form, having scored four goals in his last four matches, becoming a central figure in the team's scoring efforts.
